My Genealogy Hound

John M. Quigley, M. D., is one of the eminently successful men in his profession in Lawrence County, Mo. Thirty years of almost constant practice has made him well known, and established a reputation for professional skill which has built up a most remunerative business. He was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, February 8, 1833. He comes of sturdy Revolutionary stock; his grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, entering service at the age of sixteen years as a substitute for his brother, after which he served four years for himself. The Doctor’s father was born in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, and became a prominent physician of Ohio, having practiced his profession there for fifty-five years. The subject of the present sketch was reared in his native State, and the greater portion of his early life was spent in obtaining an education in the schools of the Western Reserve of Ohio. He became a student of medicine at an early age, under the instruction of his father, attending medical lectures at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he graduated and remained in practice for a time. Soon after the war he practiced medicine in Benton County, Mo., and removed from there to Barry County, which he was afterward elected to represent in the State Legislature. In 1878 he came to Peirce City, and has since devoted his entire time to his profession, and is recognized as one of the leading physicians of the county. In the hey-day of life, with a vigor well preserved, he bids fair to be a useful member of his profession for many years to come. His wife, who was a native of Ohio, has been dead eight years, leaving five children, three girls and two boys, who are all alive at the present writing, and give promise of becoming useful citizens.
